Penguin spotting at Boulders
Located between Cape Point and Simonstown, Boulders is best known for its large colony of African penguins. These droll animals have been stealing the show for years and attracting crowds. You can watch them from boardwalks in the small national park.
The African penguin is on the red list but has a good home in Boulders. From near extinction to a flourishing number of breeding pairs. During our visit, there is busy flocking so the colony is bound to grow a bit bigger again.
It is busy here during the day but when the last day-trippers have left, it is quiet and there are only the guests of our hotel at Boulders Beach. We still hear the Penguins calling regularly and sometimes see them scurrying around the car park. So special that we can spend the night here.
This mischievous penguin came waddling along nicely and I was immediately reminded of the film Happy Feet. What a cutie.
Also beautiful in combination with my other penguin photo!
